Birthday Actual Down, One More to Go...
Jul. 25th, 2008 11:13 amMason's birthday ACTUAL was a lot of fun. Despite the fact that I had a dream the night before that I forget the classroom presents, everything went off without a hitch. As I did folders on Thursday, I snuck a peek in the classroom before I left and I saw Mason wearing his birthday crown and everyone was whacking each other with the pencils we gave them.
My folks showed up around ten (almost exactly when Shawn predicted they would), and then we all headed over to pick up Mason. I gave them the two penny tour, and Ms. Fry, the librarian, gave them an enthusiastic welcome.
Como Zoo/Como Town amusment park was hot, muggy and a bit chaotic, despite mostly hurding only adults and one child, but I think Mason had a blast.
Then it was back to our house for presents. Many Legos were presented, and, my mother, bless her soul, have Mason a bag of quarters to squander at the coffeeshop on arcade games. Such a thoughtful present! Mason and I both enjoyed the heck out of a handful of those this morning.
Mason gave grandpa the tour of all the video games upstairs, and Shawn, my mom, and I all laid about chatting and recovering from Como Town with much lemonade. After they left,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seanmmurphy came by while Mason was in the tub, and Mason looked at him and said, "Did you bring me a present??"
More Legos. Shawn and I are quite happy as we're both hugely fond of Lego kits, so really they were gifts for the whole family.
Despite being pretty pooped out (and not entirely done with my "homework,") Sean and I headed off to Wyrdsmiths.naomikritzer sold a short story to Baen's Universe, and so she bought coffee for everyone, as is our tradition. I got a bit wired on Thai coffee, and so got almost no sleep last night. Now I'm tired, but happy.
You?
